Click hereso the spider crawled
under the tender flesh
of the wounds you carelessly inflicted
tracing thin white steps
heedless of the pain
chasing the dragon
as the twitching comes
faster and faster like a merry go round
palms itching from the need
hot deep breaths
my addiction is the pain
heedlessly afflicted by your soft words
seeing the reflection of myself in your eyes
how soulless this all seems
will it never stop
this loud pounding
as if my heart will beat right out
why does it feel as if I die
whenever you are near
why does it feel as if I will die
whenever you are not here
as if I am nothing
but the shadow on the wall
flickering away in the brightness
so the spider crawled
under the thin layer of skin
marking the moments of my hate
eating at the marrow of my self
heedless of the pain
stretched taunt every waking moment

jthserraabout 20 years agoThis one worked very well, I felt the pain in the words. Only one thing threw me, the line "eating at the marrow of my self" just didn't work. I think if you delete this line the poem would be stregthened. Otherwise, excellent poem...
